Yes only 1 a female on 28th May 1984 at Widdop. See The Birds of Halifax.
How many copies of that are there left Nick?
two
I can highly recommend them to people - so snap one up before it's too late. It covers historical ornithological records in Calderdale, in some cases going back to 1275 (merlin)! It throws up such rare beauties as roller, stone curlew, pallas's sandgrouse, hoopoe, wilsons phalarope, etc etc, and covers the days when corncrake, red backed shrike, hawfinch and wryneck were all breeding Calderdale birds
I'll second that Matt, basically a history of birds in Halifax, well worth the money.
Hi Nick
Why not raffle them off on Sunday night for Malta funds ?
It was published by Halifax Scientific Society, Natural History Section. I'm sorry, we don't have any spare copies.
Apart from bird ecology, we are interested in all aspects of biology/botany/geology, especially field observations.
Nick, how much are they? I'll have one so long as I don't need to rob a bank.
I'll have one two if thats ok
Some confusion here, The Birds of Halifax I was referring to was published privately by Nick Dawtrey and consists of a bird report type summary of records of birds in Halifax since they began. I think perhaps Steve is referring to the Vertebrate Fauna of the Halifax Parish? it was published in the sixties (with a later update unpublished)and put together by the "father of Calderdale birding" Irvine Morley
No, it's not in Vertabrate Fauna, that was 1965. I's in one of the Halifax Scientific Society Bird Reports published by David Crawshaw before he moved to East Anglia. That's presumabely where Nick D. got it from?
